Yeah I am in the same boat as you I meet every thing fine just not the processor but I am running other games that need core2duo just fine. I pre-orderd my copy of D.I yesterday I guess we have just got to take a chance eh.

Should be fine, might, or might not be capable of running the game on highest settings though.

Like someone else already mentioned it does depend on how well the game is optimized. We can only hope that they do it in a proper manner.

This is a handy site http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ , basically it give you the result of your PC stat vs. The game stat, this should be taken as a guide as you can adjust performance or their will release patches later.

That site is a bit odd, it reminds me of one of those "love calculators". I've tried multiple games with it, ones that run bad and brilliant on my PC and yet that site gives me the same results, just over the minimum requirements. (sorry that looks like I tried a game on the love calculator... not that I've tried a love calculator before.)

Should be fine, The only bit that might be questionable would be the processor. ( though I do not think it will be for this game )

*EDIT*
What I meant is that I do not think it will be an issue for this game when it comes to your processor*

The games only on the Chrome Engine 3 so don't expect a huge chunk of Gameplay gone from older Graphics Cards.

I'd say most of the specs posted will run on at least Medium-High

Not 3, 5.

Honestly, Dead Island looks kind of intense, like UT3 x 2 intense. I would definitely want a video card that's high-end for its series, and even then, I don't think anything less than an nVidia 200 series card could comfortably run this game, but I suppose we'll see in a week.

crysis2 looks mighty pretty but i can run that game without problems while crysis 1 is still laggy maxed for me, but i think op should be fine at medium setings maybe mixed with some high.

and on system requirements labs website is just a joke, i can apparently run this game maxed with my computer thats worse then the guy with his gts 460.

try it, if it sucks. Overclock your cpu, you should get at least 3.7 out of it. Mine ran fine in most games.

Plus my old laptop

c2d e7200 at 2.4 i think*
nvidia 8400 wouldnt run l4d2 on the lowest of low settings.

My new laptop with an i5 2.2 and a 5470 just about plays l4d2 on vlow settings. open world if badly optomised will suck for all the single and dual core owners and the quads lol... Just think Arma 2 and gta 4 poor poor openworld games.

yeah... Im thinking that site might be judging from a much different standard (wether using the "real" reqs or saying in regards to say.... running in 2560x1600 w/ everything maxed)
I can run DEHR just fine maxed out (a bit of stutters here and there during the convos but other than that smooth gameplay to me)... I guess playing Diablo 1 and StarCraft 1 on a 486/66 MHz and World of Warcraft on a 466 MHz back in the day (aka under reqs gaming... fairly low FPS/gameplay... WoW was doing 20 FPS on a good day and less than 5 in a busy city)
